All-
I just got my new CD3000s via UPS today and have begun to give them a brief audition. My main reason for giving them a try was a search for a more aggressive can for my hard rock and metal listening; something that would complement the easier vibe of the HD650. The CD3K was so well regarded in these parts and a few references were made to the Shure E5 (which I love in the metal application) being the CD3K of the canalphone models. I can certainly see what all the fuss is about with the wide soundstage and big bass...
Which leads me to the main question: How much burn-in have the numerous CD3K owners here thrown at the cans before they settled in to their final sound? I remember reading that these did not go through as pronounced a burn-in period as do the HD650s and other higher-impedance cans, but I am guessing there wil lbe some changes over the first 100 or so hours. Any ideas as to what I can expect would be much appreciated.
